A blown out tire put a crimp in my plan to photograph along Route 66 in Texas this week.\u00a0 In fact, when I rolled back\u00a0 into New Mexico on my shiney new tires I had about 10 pictures from Cadillac Ranch and another half dozen or so from a grain elevator that caught my eye in Adrian, Texas which claims to be the midpoint of Route 66.\u00a0 So when I spotted a sign attempting to lure me into a travel center with a free car museum I thought “What the heck, I need to buy gas anyway.”\u00a0 Not only did they have clean restrooms, the car museum was over the top fantastic.\u00a0 Most of the cars were from the 1950s and were lovingly restored.\u00a0 But they did not stop at cars, there were bicycles, pedal cars, juke boxes, toys and tons of coca-cola collectables.\u00a0 So I brought home some good pictures after all and was inspired to create this composite celebrating the glories of the car museum. I processed each of the four photos individually in Photoshop and Nik Color Efex Pro.\u00a0 Then I brought them all together as layers in Photoshop.\u00a0 I used the eraser tool to get rid of smooth edges and varied the opacity of the layers until I got a look I liked.\u00a0 I then took it back into NIK for another detail extractor and added a light vignette to smooth out the corners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
